The Disputed Territory.
Geoiiqltown, British Guiana, .March
12. If tho Venezuela-British Guiana
boundary dispulo Is decided in favor of
Venezuela, 99 out of ovory ICO English
men iu this country will loso money by
it, and tho same may bo said of nearly
every American living in tho colony, ex
copt tho United States consul. British
Guiana is divided into three counties,
Domerara, Berbico and Esnequebo.
Practically all tho goldtlelds ore in Esee
quebebo county, and nearly all of the ter
ritory which comprises that country is
under disputo.
While tho rest of tho world is looking
upon tho question as practically settled,
so far as the possibility ol war is con
cerned, tho point of view hero is entirely
different.
Gold, thero is hero, and to what ex
tent may bo judged from the registra
tions for tho last three days, every bit of
it being taken out by placer mining.
Thedaybeforo yesterday, 073 ounces;
yesterday 30S ounces, and today 1000
ounces wero taken out.
Owing to the volcanic nature of tho
country and tho difficulty experienced in
getting to tho fields, long canoe trips be
ing necessary, up to tho present tune
mining has been very crude.
As for the British claim that there arc
52,000 British subjects in heBeiuebo
county, exclusivo of government officials,
it ia very misleading. If a line Ehould
be drawn due south from the Morocco
river it would be founa that the actual
settlers between that and the Schom-
burgkline would not number 1500, while
in the noithwest district, that on the
coast directly south of theOriuoco river,
where I ho best quartz is supjo;ed to ex
ist, there uro"not more than 20OJ actual
settlers.
The Cuban Question.
Washinutojj, April 7. Secretary Ol
uoy called early at the White House and
remained in close consultation with the
president foi a long time. It is believed
tho two were engaged in the preparation
of a special message to congress, relating
to Cuba and.the expression of tho actual
state of affairs on tho islaud as revealed
in the reports of the United States con
sular officers and from other trusted
sources ol information.
Thero is a resolution betore the presl
dent, passed at the instance of Senator
Hoar, calling for this information. It is
reasoned that the president in transmit
ting the information, may feel it his duty,
in view cf the overwhelming majority by
which the Cuban concurrent resolutions
passed both branches cf congress, to
make a statement showing that, regard
less ol the sjmpalhy he may feel per
sonally for the insurgents, he is abso
lntely bound by the facts as he sees
them, ly precedent, aud by the dictates
of iutcrnaiional law, to persist iu his
present attitude.

Many well-informed people hero ex

dervishes aro better armed and better

as n rule, pooh-pooh tho idea of defeat,
but they aro all extremely anxious. It

Washington, April 0. The house to
lay adopted the conference report on
the Cuban resolutions by a vote of 21
to 27, and passed the river aud harbor
appropriations bill under a suspension of
the rules, after a livelv debate of 40
minutes, by a vote of 210 to 40. The re
port ou ttie Cuban resolutions had been
debated Friday and Saturday, and the
vote today was taken immediately alter
the reading of the journal. Eighteen re
publicans anil nine democrats vo'.ca
against the report. Alter tho most de
termined efforts of those opprtetl to the
recognition of the iusugents in the sen
ate ami house, there were but IU more
votes against Uie report thJn against tho
original resolutions. The former vo'.e
was 202 to 17. By its action todav, the
house agreed to the senate resolutions
and disposed of the Cuban question for
the present. The resolutions were a
follows:
"Resolved, That, in tho opinion
congress, a condition ol public war ex
ists between tho government of Spain
and the government proclaimed and fo
sou-e time maintained by lorce ol arms
by the people of Cuba; and that the
United States of America should maiu

"Resolved, further, That the friendly
offices of tho United States should be of
fered by the president to the Spanish
government for the recognition of the in
dependence of Cuba." I
Before tho house adjourned, the .Sew
Mexican bond bill was defeated, and the

ABSOHMTE1.Y PURE
A Terrible Strain.
New York, April S. A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
An article in the Imparcial scolds the
Spanish government for laxity of spirit
against the attitude of the American con-
rcft. It asserts that a danger still ex
st-3 which is perhaps greater than be
fore. More thau ever the efforts of the
insurgents are felt in tho farming dis
tnew, wnete at tho present time it is
hard to engage laborers.
Any one who takes a trip through the
xicnltural districts will be convinced
beyond a doubt that the present strain
on the conutry is terrible and one which
pain cannot stand without serious in
jury lor any length of time. Mr. Burn
ett. manager of the Peninsula Company's j
big holding at Maceo, says he finds it
almost impossible to secure sufficient
help to work his land, so many young,
man have gone to Cuba. Another
gentleman, who owns a large tract near
Toledo, says that out of 40 hands 12 have
recently gone to war.
Gracie Plalsted.
Gracio Plaisted is a dashing and cloyer
little eoubrelte, who has a singing voice
of exceeding sweetness, and is as nimble
on her feet as a kitten. Years may come
and years may go, and it is to bo hoped
that Miss Plaisted's voice will remain as
sweet and as entrancing as it was when
sho sang last night at tho Metropolitan
Theater in the comedy "Tina." -'Tina"
is a play of a familiar type, the hero be
ing a big-hearted German lad, who falls
into riches, and likewise falls into the
clutches of an adventuress. From the
latter predicament ho is finally rescued
by Tina, a country lass, who loves him.
Miss Plaisted was the Tina, Frank Va
lerga tho German youth, and Miss Dor
othy Rossmore the scheming woman.
Yalerga is a splendid singer, his fine
tenor voice having been heard in Sacra
mento on previous occasions. Last night
ho made a good impression with his
solos, and also when he sang in duets
with Miss Plaisted. There is also iu the
company a clever child, Uina Cook, who
sings well and dances gracefully. A lul
laby song in thn first act by Minnie Ells
worth was so well received by tho audi
ence that a repetition was emphatically
(demanded. In fact, all the musical
numbers-of the evening were encored.

alarm ol fire was sounded. The barn
and feed stables of G. W. Noah, north
ol tho court house, wero discovered on
fire. The fire boys promptly responded,
bit the tlamcs had so far progressed that
their extinguishment was an utter im
possiinlitv. There wero about five tons
ol feed in the stables lesides a saddle,
sour; harness and other valuables. A
total lo.-s of $700, only T400 insurance.
The origin of the lire is unknown, but
supposed to have been set on tire, but
by whom is a mystery. Mr. Noah's
carriage was at tho shop tor repairs, or it
too, would doubtless havo been de
stroyed.
The extreme combustible nature ot the
contents of the barn where the fire origi
nakd was such that the flames spread so
rapidly that five minutes after the fire
was discovered tho roof fell in. As the
bam was at a good distance from any
other building, and the wind blowing the
flames from those nearest by, the fire
did not communicate with any other
buil'iinss; but had the wind been from
the iiorth it would have taxed the ability
of the fire department to havo prevented
a general conflagration.
Disaster Expected.
Caiko, April 8. It cannot bo denied

hension that disaster will soon overtake

Deafness Cannot be Cured
bv local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion ot the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube, When this tube gets in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is en
tirely closed deafness is tho result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out oi ten are caused by cat
arrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafneis (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured bv Hall's Catarrh

A Little Hero.
Sunday while the two boys of Dr. Du
Gas wero playing near Deer creek they
started to cress the stream on a plank,
the youngest, Bertie, five years old, fell
into the stream, but his older brother,
Leon, seven years old, seized the younger
by his suspenders and held him up till
Mrs. R. M. Conkling, who lived near
by, ran to his relief by wading into the
water near waist deep and brought him
safe on shore aud thiu saved him
from drowning. It was a rather cold
bath for Mrs. Conkling, but she did not
hesitate a moment when life depended
on her prompt action, though at great
risk of her health and possibly her own
life. Little Leon exhibited a heroism
that commends him to the admiration
of all who have learned of his presence
of mind and perscrvcrance iu holding to
hia littlo brother till relief came.
